Goodbye DRC. Bilstein PSS9's ordered

Post by RS6Stirling » Tue Dec 10, 2013 5:25 pm

Decided after a bit of deliberation to ditch the DRC and go for the PSS9. More costly than basic non-adjustable kits but I committed now (and maybe should be). Am I going to enjoy these?? Hopefully cars a keeper after having just shelled out on the major service! :beerchug:
Fockers at Barclaycard declined my credit card limit increase..cnuts :FIREdevil: Guess I'm going to have to pay for this with my own money. ha ha. Thankfully there's never an ill wind for us tree surgeons. :biggrin3:

I like 'em. Don't try to run them on anything higher than 4. And avoid potholes.

I'm with Shop.
Fitted my PSS9 a while back now & really pleased with them, just avoid the pot holes.

My DRC shocks are past it sadly and the system had lost pressure again. Hence the PSS9's.
